Educational Debt

The cost of education is rising, and paying for your education can be scary. Dental students are no exception; almost 90% of dental students graduate in debt, 75% of which have debt exceeding $100,000. Last year, the average indebtedness of both undergraduate debt and dental school debt was over $180,000 for graduating students. Student loans, if not properly addressed, can postpone your point of financial freedom.
